Is it wrong that my first thought was, "How's she ride like that without her coat [or skirt or whatever] getting caught in the rear wheel?"

And I'm wondering how much power from a stiff leather shoe like she's wearing can be transferred from those quads to the pedals.  Heck, if she pushed with her heel, those tips would become lethal.  Then sparks would start flying, get caught in her dress, and poof, the dress would be gone.  
 
Then, what would we be left with.  A naked woman with gloves  Shocked
